EXCL: there is growing concern at just how much of a record transfer window was paid for with private credit, at a time of real pressure for such markets
The state of the game report is anticipated to outline a huge liquidity problem in English football

£85m for Cody Gakpo would mean City's spending since January 2025 now totals £815.4m on 19 players. If Enzo Fernandez signs before the end of the transfer window, that takes it to £935.4m (€1.1 billion).
Two years since their hearing finished in December 2024. Three & a half years since they were charged in February 2023. Their cheating, corruption & financial doping, we are too numb to what a disgrace they are.
En 24/25, Manchester City a recruté 7 joueurs pour environ 250 millions d'euros
Aujourd'hui, seul Khusanov a une place dans l'effectif (le jeune Vitor Reis était sur le banc contre Bournemouth, Juma Bah n'était pas dans le groupe) et tous les autres sont partis ou vont partir : Marmoush, Gonzalez, Savinho, Gündogan...
Ironie, City enregistre des plus-values sur certains transferts malgré le passage très moyen des joueurs en question !
For nearly a decade the left has mercilessly harassed @jk_rowling without the slightest concern about whether she might be experiencing mental distress.
Everyone who has massively benefited from #115 have all jumped ship. Pep, Rodri, Silva, Stones, KDB, Aguero, Kompany. The list goes on. None of them will have any consequence for being part of the biggest cheating scandal in the history of the sport.
britain feels like an early 2000s bbc sitcom at the moment. i know we’re a nation that takes the piss out of everything, but at some point we might have to be serious.
the emergency alert system went off last night to tell people not to have a bbq. a man called count binface with a bin on his head just took nearly a third of the vote against the possible next pm. we have a hosepipe ban on a rainy, gloomy island in the atlantic.
meanwhile costs up, energy up, debt up. it’s an odd timeline.
If City sign Ayyoub Bouaddi & Enzo Fernandez, they will have signed 20 players for a whopping £849.8m since January 2025.
Not only that, somehow they manage to sell failed signings like Trafford & Reijnders for profit despite only joining a year ago.
Considering they are accused of paying players & managers off the books, it's not a stretch to believe they do the same with clubs.
This is all while they have the greatest cheating scandal in English football history hanging over them with 115/130 charges pending.
What a joke of a situation & a joke of a club.
Héctor Bellerín: “Since I knew the friendly got announced, I’ve been counting down the days! I spent 10 years there, always trying to help & see Arsenal where it belongs & it’s nice to finally face them being in that position.” ❤️🇪🇸

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
